A Sad Day




After much though, many soaks and Vaseline treatments and consideration we decided that Mr. Big would have a better life in rooster heaven. He came to our farm this summer with his lady, Miss Muffet. He has been nothing but a gentleman toward her and us. He was a big guy and was the alfa male in our flock. This winter his left leg got infected as he has had really bad scaly leg. We treated it and waited and hoped that it would get better, but it didn't. The flock left him this week and that was the last straw for us. We couldn't bare his loneliness. We will miss you Big, and we will take good care of Muffet.
